Not sure if this is common knowledge or not. Why YSK it’ll save you the guessing game of which side your gas tank is on when pulling up to a gas station.

    Its pretty funny - I learned this the last 2 years I was to own a gas operated car. I had always struggled with certain models on which side the gas tank was and would embarrassingly have to switch stalls when I came out to realize I was on the wrong side.

    Now I just have to remember what side my charging port is on, passengers get the zap is how I remember

      LOL, same here. Most of the time I knew, but in a rental car or something, I could never remember…

      My charging port is in the front center now–and this is causing me problems with some street chargers because I can’t get the cable far enough over. There’s no arrow for that…

        Ohh yeah that can be such a pain to maneuver on a street, that really sucks and I didn’t think about that pain point with front charging cars! A leaf?

          Yah, Leaf 2016 model. I got ticketed by the city for parking the wrong direction. I tried to explain to them that they chose to site the charger in a way that caused this problem, but they said they didn’t care and don’t do it…
